So I've been playing Dragon Age Origins on my Origin account, and I'm planning on taking on Awakening, but I think it is easier to buy it via Steam. If I buy Awakening through Steam, will it recognize my Origin save?

When I bought the Ultimate Edition on Steam during a sale, I just ended up copying my keys into Origin so I wouldn't have to do anything... it actually just installed the UE stuff on top of my previous installation, which was good and bad (I had to tinker with it for some reason to get the all the DLC to work, and restore mods).
I think the real answer would depend on where these versions are planning to store the saves, if they both are just looking for a Bioware folder in Documents you might not have to do anything.

So will it work then? I don't want to waste money if my save won't transfer.

AFAIK both versions put the saves in Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\Characters so I would imagine it should find them even if you install on Steam. Even if they didn't use the same folder, it wouldn't be difficult to simply copy saves between folders.

I tried buying Awakening on Steam, but apparently it said I don't have the original DA:O downloaded, even though I do, it's just from Origin...
Damn. If there's no solution, I might as well miss out on it.

If there's no solution, I might as well miss out on it. Hmmm. I don't know if you add DAO into Steam via the "non-steam" method if that would matter, or if you talked to customer support at Steam if they would let you buy it. That said if you can't you could try to wait for the Ultimate Edition to go on sale. When I bought it this past summer it was cheaper than buying Awakening by itself. |
